   Books Read in 2016 (1,304) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) MsTera | Oct 10, 2023 |  It's so laugh-out-loud funny. I saw Demetri Martin a couple of years ago on YouTube and found him really funny/witty, and forgot about him till now. READ IT! If you have a weird sense of humor. That is most entertained by elements of surprise. (  ) womanwoanswers | Dec 23, 2022 | I love this comedian. His stand-up is better than this book which was hit or miss,depending on the chapter. Still, I got a lot of laughs from it, and it was worth the read. (  ) Harks | Dec 17, 2022 | I've read a decent amount of books, and his writing style isn't quite clever enough to tell humorous stories up there with the big players. (I fear I'm a little too picky.) I do think he really shines in the drawings and one-liners. (  ) Allyoopsi | Jun 22, 2022 | I Picked Up This Book Because: Demetri Martin is one of my favorite comics. The Story: While I enjoyed most of it, the book started to get old by the end and I did some skipping in the last section.

 Ultimately, This Is A Book is far more effective as a demonstration of the difficulties of translating comedy to the page than it is as a book. It’s eminently readable, but Martin’s humor is best dealt with in smaller doses, and the longer fiction pieces seem like jokes stretched well beyond their limits. There are probably ways for Martin to apply his mannerisms to the page successfully, but This Is A Book’s humble title serves as an unfortunately accurate description of this attempt. Distinctions
Featuring narrative essays, short stories, and conceptual pieces (such as "Protagonists' hospital," where doctors treat only the shoulder wounds of Hollywood action heroes) as well as Martin's signature drawings, absurdities, and one-liners, This is a book delivers sharp jokes, colorful characters, and interesting surprises.
